Poem on Swami Vivekananda‟s views on character development of youth in India

Answers

As the young runaway walked in to seek
his blessings,
The old monk did fulfil his wish,
put only partially.
He would have to wander the country
far and wide he was told,
Like another before him had. Only
then, could he begin to appreciate,
The true nature of what it meant to
serve society
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I’m a Sceptic”, said young
Narendranath.
“And I cannot believe you when you
say you see God.”
“I
see him as clear as day, young man!”, came the reply. “I
see him as clearly as I can see you.”

Ramakrishna approached Naren and
advised him,
That it was not wrong, to not
believe.
But it was wrong, to understand and
yet not believe.
And that was a lesson Naren carried
with him his whole life.

Because to him the most defining
goal in the life of a Guru,
Was how he built up the character of
his disciples.
Of how a Teacher imparted education
to his students,
So that they may one day follow in
his footsteps,
And turn out to be ideal patriots
themselves.

He relied on the wisdom of the Hindu
religion,
Of sacred texts and the concepts of
Vedanta,
To formulate his approach for the
development
Of future generations of his
country.
To take them out of the dark ages,
Of ignorance, false belief systems,
and servitude.

To inspire the youth to follow their
dreams,
But with a clean heart, and one
which,
Even in the dirtiest of hands, does
not get a stain,
Of indecency, of wrongdoing, of
ingratitude.

And he practiced what he preached.
As a role model for millions.
For all Indian youth alike.
And for one particular eager young
man,
Who left home to join the
organization he had founded.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years later, when the youth was no
longer a mere youth,
But a man having seen the best and
worst of India,
And who, like another before him,
Had wandered the country far and
wide,
Developing the youth into worthy
young men the nation needed.
Attendants rushed to inform the head
of the monastery,
Of the visitor coming to see them
that day.
The monk smiled and simply said:
“The Prodigal Son has returned.”
